Microsoft - The first half hour was a total snooze, but Forza 3 is a big improvement over 2, Shadow Complex and Splinter Cell looked amazing, as did Alan Wake (which may not be vaporware after all), and Milo scared the ever-loving shit out of me. I'm skeptical of Project Natal, but it is some amazing tech. Pretty good show, and definitely spectacular.

Overall score -

Nintendo - New SMB, Galaxy 2, Golden Sun, Mario & Luigi 3, and Team Ninja's Metroid made for a pretty awesome conference... and they even confirmed a new Zelda! But what the fuck are they thinking with shit like that pulse meter? That kind of insanity warrants a healthy deduction.

Overall score -

Sony - All over the place. The Last Guardian is fucking amazing. The Agent logo... less so. I don't really care about a PSP Go!, and especially not at that price. The announcement of FFXIV knocked me for a loop. There was the initial OMGWTF, then the realization that we're still waiting on XIII and Versus... and then that bullshit about it being online. Finally, I thought Sony's dildos were pretty cool, even if the guys presenting them sucked.
